AppointmentQuest already exists so I am not sure why Updox would duplicate that service. I, personally, do not want to deal with multiple vendors and frequent downloads to get scheduling access for the patients. I think that the patient portal we already have through Updox would be a perfect fit to add a scheduling option. My patients are getting quite adept at the portal to send referral requests and receive test results. This makes sense as the next step.
I am hoping that AC is open to this. It would be a great addition to the EHR and great for the marketing dept!
